(Calling Kirkland's wife Rachel obviously an error; Rachel was already named as married to Young.) Augusta County Court Records include the following: "John Blair Deposes, 7th July, 1804, in Staunton, that about 50 years ago, when a certain James Blair was building a cabin at or near the main s pring of Naked Creek on the disputed land, deponent's grand father, James Scott, came there and asked if Blair was buil ding on his own grant, as his grandfather had a location ad joining." This is clear evidence that the father of John's mother, Jane Scott, was James Scott, who was a resident of Augusta County, and whose death is recorded on March 22, 1753.
